5 INV3703 INVESTMENTS: DERIVATIVES CHAPTER 1 FORWARD MARKETS AND CONTRACTS
6 Read Basic concepts and terminology What is a: Forward contract Futures contract Swap Option Call option Put option Forward commitment Holder has a right but does not impose an obligation
7 Chapter 1 Introduction cont Forward Contracts Contingent Claim No premium paid at inception Premium Paid at inception Question : What is the advantage of a contingent claims over forward commitments? Answer: Permit gain while protecting against losses Why is it so?
8 Chapter 1 Introduction cont If a risk free rate of interest is 7% and an investor enters into a transaction that has no risk, what would be the rate of return the investor should earn in the absence of the risk A. 0% B. between 0% and 7% C. 7% D. Less than 7%
9 Chapter 1 Introduction cont The spot price of Gold is R930 per ounce and the risk free-rate of interest is 5% per annum. Calculate the equilibrium 6-month forward price per ounce of gold. 930 (1+(0.05/2))=R Why divide by 2 (6- months i.e. half a year)
10 INV3703 INVESTMENTS: DERIVATIVES CHAPTER 2 FORWARD MARKETS AND CONTRACTS
11 Definition A forward contract is an agreement between two parties in which one party, the buyer, agrees to buy from the other party, the seller, an underlying asset at a future date at a price established today. The contract is customised and each party is subject to the possibility that the other party will default.
12 Forwards Equity forwards Bond/Fixed-income forwards Interest rate forwards (FRAs) Currency forwards
13 Forwards Futures Over the counter Private Customized Default risk Not marked to market Held until expiration Not liquid Unregulated Futures exchange Public Standardized Default free Marked to market Offset possible Liquid Regulated
14 Differentiate between the positions held by the long and short parties to a forward contract LF (Long Forward) LA Long party SA Short party SF Party that agrees to buy the asset has a long forward position Party that agrees to sell the asset has a short forward position
15 Pricing and valuation of forward contracts Are pricing and valuation not the same thing? The price is agreed on the initiation date (Forward price or forward rate) i.e. pricing means to determining the forward price or forward rate. Valuation, however, means to determine the amount of money that one would need to pay or would expect to receive to engage in the transaction
16 Pricing and valuation of forward contracts cont F(0,T) =S0(1+r)^T The transaction is risk-free and should equivalent to investing S0 Rands in risk free asset
17 Pricing and valuation of forward contracts cont Vo(0,T) = S0 F(0,T)/(1+r)^T For forward contract Vo(0,T) should be ZERO (0) If Vo(0,T) 0 arbitrage would the prevail The forward price that eliminates arbitrage: F(0,T) =S0(1+r)^T
18 Pricing and valuation of forward contracts cont By definition an asset s value is the present value of future value thus, Vt(0,T) = St F(0,T)/(1+r)^(T-t) (T-t) is the remaining time to maturity
19 Pricing and valuation of forward contracts cont F(0,T) =(S0-PV(D,0,T))*(1+r)^T PV (D,0,T) = (Di/(1+r)^(T-ti) When dividends are paid continuously F(0,T) =So ^(- c*t). ^(rc*t) To convert discrete risk-free interest(r) to continuosly compounded equivalent(rc): rc = Ln(1+r)
20 Pricing and valuation of forward contracts cont A portfolio manager expects to purchase a portfolio of stocks in 60 days. In order to hedge against a potential price increase over the next 60 days, she decides to take a long position on a 60-day forward contract on the S&P 500 stock index. The index is currently at The continuously compounded dividend yield is 1.85 percent. The discrete risk-free rate is 4.35 percent. Calculate the no-arbitrage forward price on this contract, the value of the forward contract 28 days into the contract (index value 1225), and the value of the contract at expiration (index value 1235).
21 Decrease the spot index value by the dividend yield and thereafter calculate the future value (first convert the discrete rate to a continuously compounded rate) LN F 0,T 1,150e e $1,154.56
22 The value of a contract is the difference between the discounted current spot price (at the dividend yield) and the discounted forward price (at the converted risk-free rate) for the remaining period LN V 0,T 1,225e 1,154.56e t 1, , $72.76
23 At expiration, the value is simply the difference between the end-period spot index and the forward contract price, as calculated. T V 0,T 1,235 1, $80.44
24 Fixed-Income and interest rate forward contracts Identify the characteristics of forward rate agreements Forward contract to borrow/lend money at a certain rate at some future date Long position Borrows money (pays interest) Benefit when forward rate < market rate Short position Lends money (receives interest) Benefit when forward rate > market rate
25 Calculate and interpret the payment at expiration of a FRA and identify each of the component terms
26 ESKOM P/L is expecting to receive a cash inflow of R20, 000, in 90 days. Short term interest rates are expected to fall during the next 90 days. In order to hedge against this risk, the company decides to use an FRA that expires in 90 days and is based on 90day LIBOR. The FRA is quoted at 6%. At expiration LIBOR is 5%. Indicate whether the company should take a long or short position to hedge interest rate risk. Using the appropriate terminology, identify the type of FRA used here. Calculate the gain or loss to ESKOM P/L as a consequence of entering the FRA.
27 Identify the characteristics of currency forwards Exchange of currencies Exchange rate specified Manage foreign exchange risk Domestic risk-free rate Foreign risk free rate Interest rate parity (IRP) Covered interest arbitrage
28 Determine the price of a forward contract Initial or delivery price FT =S0(1+r)^T =K Forward price during period FT =St(1+r)^(T-t)

33 INV3703 INVESTMENTS: DERIVATIVES CHAPTER 3 FUTURES MARKETS AND CONTRACTS
34 Definition A forward contract is an agreement between two parties in which one party, the buyer, agrees to buy from the other party, the seller, an underlying asset at a future date at a price established today. The contract is customized and each party is subject to the possibility that the other party will default. A futures contract is a variation of a forward contract that has essentially the same basic definition, but some clearly distinguishable additional features, the most important being that it is not a private and customized transaction. It is a public, standardized transaction that takes place on a futures exchange.
35
36 Identify the primary characteristics of futures contracts and distinguish between futures and forwards Forwards Over the counter Private Customized Default risk Not marked to market Held until expiration Not liquid Unregulated Futures Futures exchange Public Standardized Default free Marked to market Offset possible Liquid Regulated
37 Describe how a futures contract can be terminated at or prior to expiration by close out, delivery, equivalent cash settlement, or exchange for physicals Close out (prior to expiration) Opposite (offsetting) transaction Delivery Close out before expiration or take delivery Short delivers underlying to long (certain date and location) Cash settlement No need to close out (leave position open) Marked to market (final gain/loss) Exchange for physicals Counterparties arrange alternative delivery
38 Explain why the futures price must converge to the spot price at expiration To prevent arbitrage: ft (T) = ST Spot price (S) current price for immediate delivery Futures price (f) current price for future delivery At expiration f becomes the current price for immediate delivery (S) If : ft (T) < ST Buy contract; take delivery of underlying and pay lower futures price If : ft (T) > ST Sell contract; buy underlying, deliver and receive higher futures price
39 Determine the value of a futures contract Value before m-t-m = gain/loss accumulated since last m-t-m Gain/loss captured through the m-t-m process Contract re-priced at current market price and value = zero 0 t-1 j t T
40 Summary: Value of a futures contract Like forwards, futures have no value at initiation Unlike forwards, futures do not accumulate any value Value always zero after adjusting for day s gain or loss (m-t-m) Value different from zero only during m-t-m intervals Futures value = current price price at last m-t-m time Futures price increase -> value of long position increases Value set back to zero by the end-of-day mark to market
41 No-arbitrage futures prices Cash-and-carry arbitrage: Today: Sell futures contract Borrow money Buy underlying At expiration: Deliver asset and receive futures price Repay loan plus interest Reverse C&C arbitrage: Today: Buy futures contract Sell/short underlying Invest proceeds At expiration: Collect loan plus interest Pay futures price and take delivery
42 No cost or benefit to holding the asset Net cost or benefit to holding an asset Cost-of-carry model + FV CB CB -> cost minus benefit (negative or positive value) Costs exceed benefits (net cost) future value added Benefits exceed costs (net benefit) FV subtracted Financial assets High(er) cash flows -> lower futures
43 Forward price Futures price
44 Contrast backwardation and contango Backwardation Futures price below the spot price Significant benefit to holding asset Net benefit (negative cost of carry) Contango Futures price above spot price Little/no benefit to holding asset Net cost (positive cost of carry)
45 Treasury bond futures Example: Calculate the no-arbitrage futures price of a 1.2 year futures contract on a 7% T-bond with exactly 10 years to maturity and a price of $1,040. The annual risk-free rate is 5%. Assume the cheapest to deliver bond has a conversion factor of 1.13.
46 Answer: The semi-annual coupon is $35. A bondholder will receive two coupons during the contract term i.e., a payment 0.5 years and 1 year from now.
47 Stock futures Example: Calculate the no-arbitrage price for a 120- day future on a stock currently priced at $30 and expected to pay a $0.40 dividend in 15 days and in 105 days. The annual risk-free rate is 5%.
48 Stock index futures Example: The current level of the Nasdaq Index is 1,780. The continuous dividend is 1.1% and the continuously compounded riskfree rate is 3.7%. Calculate the noarbitrage futures price of an 87-day futures contract on this index.
49 Currency futures Example: The risk-free rates are 5% in U.S. Dollars ($) and 6.5% in British pounds ( ). The current spot exchange rate is $1.7301/. Calculate the no-arbitrage $ price of a 6- month futures contract.
50 Currency futures Answer:
51 INV3703 INVESTMENTS: DERIVATIVES CHAPTER 4 OPTION MARKETS AND CONTRACTS
52 Identify the basic elements and characteristics of opti on contracts Call options grant the holder (long position) the opportunity to buy the underlying security at a price below the current market price, provided that the market price exceeds the call strike before or at expiration (specified contingency). Put options grant the holder (long position) the opportunity to sell the underlying security at a price above the current market price, provided that the put strike exceeds the market price before or at expiration (specified contingency). The option seller (short position) in both instances receives a payment (premium) compelling performance at the discretion of the holder.
53 Option shapes Long Call (LC) Right to buy Right to sell Long Put (LP) Short Call (SC) Obligation to sell Short Put (SP) Obligation to buy 53
54 JSE Equity Options: Options - Terminology American Style Options: An option that can be exercised at any time prior to expiration is called an American option European Style Options: An option that can only be exercised at expiration is called an European option JSE makes use of both American and European Style Options In the money: S>X You will exercise the option Out the money: S<X You will abandon the option At the money: S=X Strike Price = Underlying Price
55 Call option Put option + At the money + At the money Out of money In the money In the money Out of money Share price =X - Share price =X
56 Identify the different varieties of options in terms of the types of instruments underlying them Financial options Equity options (individual or stock index), bond options, interest rate options, currency options Options on futures Call options long position in futures upon exercise Put options short position in futures upon exercise Commodity options Right to either buy or sell a fixed quantity of physical asset at a (fixed) strike price
57 JSE Equity Options: Call Option - Example You don t have shares in a company but think this dynamic company is going to do well in the future (e.g. new CEO with great vision) The company is currently trading at R100 You buy a call option with a strike price the same as it s current price (R100) at a premium of R12. Scenario 1 Company performed well! On future date the company is R120 Exercise your option and buy the R100 even though it s trading at R120 Profit = R8 (R120 R100 - R12) Scenario 2 Company did NOT perform well! On future date the company is R90 Why would you exercise your option and buy the share at R100 if you can buy it at its current trading price of R90?
58 JSE Equity Options: Put Option - Example You ve got shares in in a company and want to protect yourself as you re worried that this company is not going to do well in the future (e.g. new CEO with different vision) The company is currently trading at R200 You buy a put option with a strike price of R200 at a premium of R20. Scenario 1 Company did not perform well! On future date the company is R160 Exercise your option and sell the R200 even though it s trading at R160 Profit = R20 (R200 R160 R20) Scenario 2 Company performed well! On future date the company is R240 Why would you exercise your option and sell the share at R200 if you can sell it at its current trading price of R240? Loss = Premium of R20
59 JSE Equity Options: Options Compared To Common Stocks Similarities Both options and stocks are listed securities Like stocks, options trade with buyers making bids and sellers making offers. Option investors, like stock investors have the ability to follow price movements, trading volume etc. day by day or even minute by minute Differences Price vs. Premium Unlike common stock, an option has a limited life. Common stock can be held indefinitely, while every option has an expiration date There is not a fixed number of options, as there is with common stock shares available Stock owners have certain voting rights and rights to dividends (if any), option owners participate only in the potential benefit of the stock s price movement
60 Notation and variables Variable Notation State Call option value Put option value Spot price S Increase Increase Decrease Strike price X Higher Lower Higher Volatility Higher Higher Higher Time to maturity t Longer Higher Uncertain Interest rates r Higher Higher Lower Call option C or c max(0; S X) Put option P or p max(0; X S) 60
61 Explain putcall parity for European options and relate arbitrage an d the construction of synthetic instruments Fiduciary call buying a call and investing PV(Payoff is X (otm) or X + (S-X) = S (itm) Protective put buying a put and holding asset Payoff is S (otm) or (X-S) + S = X (itm) Therefore: When call is itm put is otm > payoff is S, - When call is otm, put is itm -> payoff is X S+ p = c+ PV(X) S =c +PV(X) -p P= c +PV(X)- S C=S+ p -PV(X) PV(X)= S+ p -c
62 Put call parity arbitrage S + p = c+ PV(X) c - p = S-PV(X) c - p >S-PV(X) Sell call; buy put; buy spot; borrow PV(X) c - p < S-PV(X) Buy call; sell put; sell spot; invest PV(X)
63 Determine the minimum and maximum values of European options The lower bound for any option is zero (otm option) Upper bound Lower bound Call options c S c S PV(X) Put options p PV(X) p PV(X) - S
64 Chapter 5 - Swaps Determining the swap rate = pricing of swap As rates change over time, the PV of floating payments will either exceed or be less than the PV of fixed payments Difference = value of swap Market value = difference between bonds Fixed bond minus floating bond Domestic bond minus foreign bond PV (receive) minus PV (pay) 64
65 Equity Swaps Consider an equity swap in which the asset manager receives the return of the Russel 2000 Index in return for paying the return on the DJIA. At the inception of the equity swap, the Russel 2000 is at and the DJIA is at Calculate the market value of the swap a few months later when the Russel 2000 is at and the DJIA is at The notional principal of the swap is $15 million Russel , DJIA , V $15,000, $820,500 pay _DJIA
66 Interest rate swaps Consider a two-year interest rate swap with semi-annual payments. Assume a notional principal of $50 million. Calculate the semi-annual fixed payment and the annualized fixed rate on the swap if the current term structure of LIBOR interest rates is as follows: L 0 (180) = L 0 (360) = L 0 (540) = L 0 (720) =
67 1 B B B B FS0,4, Fixed payment $50,000,000 $1,715,000 Annualized fixed rate 3.43% %
68 Calculate the market value of the swap 120 days later from the point of view of the party paying the floating rate and receiving the fixed rate, and from the point of view of the party paying the fixed rate and receiving the floating rate if the term structure 120 days later is as follows: L 120 (60) = L 120 (240)= L 120 (420)= L 120 (600)=
